Oh he’s doing that to try to keep pumping his bet up before he dumps it all.

k0nrad.bsky.social•20 days ago

Well not much longer. ChatGPT can soon replace him.

I wonder if Garry Tan realizes that anyone of any intelligence can fire a gun, or that more than 393,000,000 people in the United States own a gun (about 48%). 🤔

Not to mention the implied assumption that the federal government has not already hired smart young IT people, either directly or through contracts to SV firms to provide software.

timjburrows.bsky.social•20 days ago

Tan’s statements are so disingenuous. He surely knows intelligence doesn’t compensate for experience

tommillard.bsky.social•20 days ago

The use of the term IQ is always revealing.

jfeej.bsky.social•20 days ago

Anyone who talks about "high IQ" this way doesn't understand IQ, intelligence generally, and is possibly quite dumb

I suspect the Silicon Valley bros are as clueless about Washington policymaking as the feds are about leading-edge technologies.

Silicon Valley must be glassed in the fire of thermonuclear bombs and no man there should ever touch a computer again.

These people don’t realise that there are about 20 identified & different sorts of measurable intelligence-to be off the spike on one without other balancing intelligences (like ‘bright’ techies) usually end up in straight jackets bubbling unintelligible words-emotional intelligence beats all others

The Head of Finance at YC has almost two decades of experience. Why doesn’t Garry Tan fire her and replace her role with a teenager using ChatGPT?

The lack of understanding that these tech leaders have for their public sector counterparts is one of the most corrosive aspects of the entirely unearned wealth they accumulated by being lucky in timing and outsized value of their very narrow skill set.

thejan6plaque.bsky.social•20 days ago

Anyone who tweets “smart high IQ people” lol

brendannyhan.bsky.social•20 days ago

Hear me out: Civics 101 but for everyone at a tech firm within 75 miles of Mountain View

kizzlebizzle.bsky.social•20 days ago

maybe even a history class! (not Ancient Rome)

jacekolender.bsky.social•20 days ago

Tbh, a real history of ancient Rome in schools would wipe out a lot of these morons.

kizzlebizzle.bsky.social•20 days ago

they all see themselves as Marcus Aurelius instead of Elagabalus

jimcashel.bsky.social•20 days ago

And maybe post “General Inspectors” or something within agencies to combat fraud and waste.

blueraybluejay.bsky.social•20 days ago

Look at all the calories they’re burning, the exposure of our personal data, and everything laid to waste just so they don’t have to pay taxes.

candyisdandy100.bsky.social•20 days ago

Or make it a nationwide challenge maybe.

lauridonahue.bsky.social•20 days ago

I blame it on all the Soylent they drink....

speckonblue.bsky.social•20 days ago

They can afford being so stupid because we freed them from the consequences.
If their multiple failures ended in something like "debtors prisons", it would not have happened.

People skilled in one area almost always think their skills are applicable to most other areas of knowledge.

Republican DEI =
Destroy Every Institution?
Doing Elon's Insanity?
Any others?

oh-f-f-s.bsky.social•20 days ago

Hooo boy. As a person with a PhD (don't know about IQ, never got it tested) who can program and has access to LLMs, I can say with confidence this guy has no fucking clue what he's talking about.

brianwilcox.bsky.social•20 days ago

I can actually imagine these SV tech bro assholes giving IQ tests to potential employees and thinking it's a good idea.

marklloyd.bsky.social•20 days ago

If they are so good, why do we need him?
